I've never been good with essays, writing or reading... in school I used to dread homework where they asked us to write one. I used to be a good boy, help my mum in her chores and stay in her good books so she would help me out with essay writing...
Once such essay she wrote for me got approval from my teacher and he said he was going to put that up on the notice board. Terrified, I confessed that it was written by my mum. He still went ahead and put the piece of paper on the notice board, with a note -- this is submitted by "my name", however written by "my name's" mother...
Next time 3 of my friends came home and requested her to write one for them as well... she had some really beautiful words for me and never wrote anything again...
